World Builder 1.0.0 - Blender 4+
🌍 World-Builder 1.0.0 — First Stable Release (Blender 4+)
World-Builder 1.0.0 introduces a powerful set of geometry nodes, shaders, and utilities designed to make creating dynamic worlds in Blender faster, more intuitive, and visually richer. This release focuses on performance, flexibility, and production-ready tools for effects such as water interaction, environment animation, particles, and procedural visualization.
✨ New Features
🔭 View Culling by Active Camera
Optimize performance by automatically culling instances outside the active camera view.
Works seamlessly with both point instances and geometry instances.
🔀 Improved View Culling Controls
Updated switch descriptions to provide clearer meaning and better usability.
🧱 Geometry Nodes
🧵 Wireframe Geometry Node
Easily visualize mesh structure with a clean procedural wireframe generator.
🌧️ Pouring Particles in Volume
A dedicated geo node for creating particle-like elements falling through a 3D volume.
🌫️ Wiggle Instances on Faces
Animate placed instances directly on mesh faces with subtle wiggle / motion effects.
Includes matching shader controls for more artistic control.
🌬️ Fluttering Particles on Faces
Add organic flutter motion to particles distributed across surfaces.
🌊 Water & Surface Effects
🌐 Spherical Wave Texture Shader
Generate expanding circular wave ripples — perfect for impact or interaction effects.
➖ Horizontal Wave Texture Shader
Create directional water waves with procedural flexibility.
🕒 Scene Utilities
🕓 Scene Time Importer
Quickly extract scene time directly inside geometry nodes.
Also accessible through the Scene Time Shader node group.
🧩 Contact & Masking Tools
✂️ Edge Intersection Masking
Mask intersections between objects to create:
- contact wetness
- contact dirt buildup
- blending / transition effects
Includes companion shader utility for intersection visualization.
✅ Compatibility
- ✔️ Blender 4.0+
- ✔️ Supports Geometry Nodes & Shader Nodes
- ✔️ Performance-friendly and production ready
